| Encoded components allow communication between the microscope, AxioCam camera, and ZEN core imaging software, keeping track of the objective, calibration, optical technique, tube lens, lighting parameters, and motorized X/Y stage parameters and coordinates |
|
Kohler lighting principle is utilized in the reflected light train to improve lighting homogeneity, brightfield contrast and darkfield performance, providing a background so black that "darkfield" is characterized now as "advanced darkfield" |
| Full integration with ZEN core provides automatic scaling when changing objectives to ensure accurate measurements |
|
Light manager stores illumination settings of each objective and contrast technique, recalled automatically as each objective is positioned |
| Optical multiplication up to 4X (optional) |
|
Patented light traps to eliminate stray light |
| 7-position encoded objective turret offers 1.25 to 150X objective magnification without exchange |
|
